ALIWA Class III Fellow (Sankofa) Soji Apampa, CEO of the Convention on Business Integrity (CBi), co-developed a complaint portal, the National Single Window, to bring accountability to cargo clearance. Under CBi’s watch, extortion incidents at Nigerian ports fell from 266 in 2019 to just 28 in 2024, with operators avoiding over $300,000 in demands.
Developed in partnership with the Denmark-based Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) and the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN), the portal is designed to capture the day-to-day experiences and operational problems of freight forwarders and clearing agents across the cargo clearance chain as workable data for regulators.
